Team Analysis

This will detail where the Portland Trail Blazers are at with key team trend metrics on the year compared to other NBA teams.

Four Factor Analysis

Four Factors was invented by Dean Oliver to measure team’s offense & defensive strategies. These four factors have a high correlation to wins and losses in a given season. The factors are weighted the following way:
1. Shooting (40%)
2. Turnovers (25%)
3. Rebounding (25%)
4. Free Throws (25%)

These 4 metrics can highlight a team strengths and weaknesses easily. Currently the Blazers rank near the bottom of the league in defensive effective field goal percentage.

Season Spotlight: Team Defense

So far Blazers ability to lower field goal percentage YoY is flat, which isn’t a good sign given it was a focus in the offseason.

Offensive vs. Defensive Ratio

This chart helps to see which teams are most balanced in terms of offensive & defensive rating.

GSW has looked dominant early in the season.

Team Pace of Play

Lakers, Kings, and Rockets have the highest amount of possessions per game. 76ers are slowest pace of play.

Player Analysis

Premier G/SF Comparison

It’s very early but Ja Morant & DeMar DeRozan looks like an MVP candidate for his shooting ability. CJ is currently shooting similar to LeBron James and Steph Curry (All former all-stars)

Premier PF/Cs Comparison

Comparison of efficiency shooters for team’s PF/C.

Nurk is comparing similar to defensive centers such as Evan Mobley, DeAndre Ayton, Myles Turner and Steven Adams. Julius Randle is showing early signs of regressing from his prior MVP-caliber year.

Blazers Player Advanced Stats

Advanced Stats Comparison helps to show how player’s contribute to overall team’s success.

Currently, CJ, Norm and Ant are the most valuable players to the Blazers roster. Nurk is the most valuable defensive player to the team (0.3 DWS). Ant & Norm are the most value on offense (>0.7 OWS & >.600 True Shooting Percentage)

RoCo & Dame have been below average players early on in the season

Blazers Hustle Stats Current Season

Hustle stats help to show contributions that don’t show up in a traditional box score.

Nurk is near the top of the league in “Hustle” stats; creating a very high amount Screen Assists (points off assists) per game. Given he compares to Ayton & Turner as mentioned earlier, his production is very much reliant on his involvement in the Pick & Roll or High-Post offense.

1 Hustle Rank Avg = Mean NBA avg for 5 hustle metrics listed

2 Contested Shots = The number of times a defensive player or team closes out and raises a hand to contest a shot prior to its release

3 Deflections = When a defender hits a piece of the basketball either on purpose or inadvertently

4 Boxouts = When a basketball player tries to establish a better rebounding position than their opponent

5 Screen Assists = Screens that directly lead to points scored

6 Loose Balls Recovered = The number of times a player or team gains sole possession of a live ball that is not in the control of either team

Player Pairs Analysis

Simons & Nance Jr. have become key guys off the bench to spark the team.

A Simons, Powell, McCollum, Nance 2nd rotation could turnout to be pretty effective for the Blazers given the 2 way ability of this squad to score and defend. Nance gives you extra possessions given his defensive presence (more so than RoCo at this point in the season)

Little will have to continue to improve his defensive game when paired with starters like Dame & Nurkic given their defensive deficiencies otherwise Nance would get the nod down the stretch.

CJ an All-Star?

There will be 24 all stars but we are showing top 40 players in the league to highlight potential snubs. The data is organized by the highest VORP (Value over replacement player) and then PER in-case of VORP ties.

CJ currently is not in the top VORP for giving him All-Star consideration.

Positive Surprises in the season so far:
-John Collins
-Miles Bridges
-Montrezl Harrell
-Richaun Holmes
-Dejounte Murray

Norm vs. Trent Tracker

Trent Jr. has a slightly higher usage percentage but Powell has a higher efficiency and better shooter than Trent thus far in the season. Trent has played much better defense this year (0.5 DWS)

FA Performance Tracker

Melo is off to a great year for the Lakers (All-star consideration) but Powell has been playing pretty similar just that Melo is playing a bit better defense. Powell will need to continue to work on his defensive contribution to the team (something that has continued to be a focus for the Blazers)
